Galway One World Centre hosts meeting on female genital cutting


Due to public demand a second public meeting on the subject of female genital cutting will be held this coming Wednesday at 7pm in the Galway One World Centre, Bridge Mills.

Commonly believed to be a problem only in African countries, female genital cutting is rapidly becoming a more global issue with procedures like designer laser vaginoplasty and vaginal rejuvenation becoming growing trends in plastic surgery in many Western countries.

Phenomenal demand for a second public meeting on the topic, following the first in November 2008, led the Galway One World Centre to arrange this additional talk, which will include Ronan Conroy, associate professor at the Department of Epidemiology at the Royal College of Surgeons, as the speaker for the evening. The meeting is free and open to the public.

  1. Hi Caitlin,
    unfortunately we had to postpone that meeting as Ronan had to pull out at short notice. We are currently arranging a new date and will let you know asap.
    Thanks!
